My sister called me today to let me know she would be visiting during Joe's birthday next month. That'll be fun! She's going to be here from May 3rd until the 8th. I got to see her over Christmas, and she usually comes down to visit in the spring. She's grown into a friend, as she matured and finished college.

Here's a little run-down of some of the stuff going on in my life lately for those of you not on the flist. I've been under quite a bit of stress, so I do apologize if some of my writing has come across as snarky, snippy or even rude. I've been under a lot of pressure ( Read more... )

We made it home safe and sound, with about an hour and a half of a delay through South Carolina on I-95. Oh man, is that the worst stretch of road to ever drive down. It's two lanes the ENTIRE way, and the majority of the way you will get stuck behind two people driving neck-and-neck ten miles per hour below the speed limit. And being that it's ( Read more... )
